Instructions+for+the+first+class


 * Instructions for the first class:**

Hi, Folks! Completing the following steps will get things moving. If you don't have Internet access to complete the following steps, a wild schedule, don't have time or can't finish... don't worry, we'll catch you up in class. Folks that have gone through it can help those who have not.

1. Setup a gmail account if you can for the first class. Don't worry, you might not decide to use it after we're done. If you don't already have a Google or gmail account go to gmail.com and and create a new account. "Create a new account" should appear on the lower right side. Step through the questions there to create the account. I've found that entering Google's realm through gmail provides the best results for using all the tools they offer. Once you login, please... remember your login name and password.

2. Go to twitter.com and setup an account. Once you login, please... remember your login name and password.

3. Go to delicious.com and setup a new account. Don't worry about installing snap-ins, etc. Once you login, please... remember your login name and password.

We'll use these accounts during the class. It's up to you if you continue to use them after we're done!

We'll discuss how to manage all these accounts folks have too!

4. Watch the movie Good Night and Good Luck if you get a chance (netflix, movie store whatever works for you). We'll discuss the film a bit but we won't watch it in class. Here's a link for more information on the film: http://www.amazon.com/Good-Night-Luck-Widescreen/dp/B000E1NXJ0

You are more than welcome to bring food and drinks for the class to share anytime, especially Friday!
